“…Furthermore, the total radiation power received by the antenna is determined by the combined radiation power of the environment, clothing, and skin tissues. The variation parameters are numerous, which greatly limits the accuracy of inverting the internal temperature of the human body [36,37]. In summary, the accuracy of temperature measurement using the microwave radiation method is closely linked to the near-field radiation characteristics of the antenna, the uncertainty of calibration link brightness temperature, and the temperature contribution weight of the inversion algorithm [38][39][40].…”

Microwave radiation diagnosis technology can detect thermal changes in skin tissue earlier than anatomical changes, but its detection accuracy is limited by non-target radiation interference in the measurement environment, additional measurement errors of system units, and energy scattering and transmission between skin tissues. This paper aims to address the scientific challenges of analyzing the forward and inversion modelling detection mechanism of layered accurate temperature measurement of human skin tissue based on multi-band. The study focuses on the construction of a pencil beam antenna optimization system, the optimization strategy of high-sensitivity correlated radiometer architecture, and the high-precision multi-band forward and inversion modelling detection algorithm. The key technologies include: (1) A new method of integrated modeling and multi-index optimization of antenna with high directivity and small aperture is proposed, and a priori knowledge-guided neural network of pencil beam distribution is constructed to realize the inversion model of antenna structural parameters; (2) The influence mechanism of high sensitivity correlated radiometer architecture error is analyzed, and a periodic phase shift error correction algorithm based on uniform polar circle is designed; (3) Combining deep learning theory and hyper-parameter optimization framework, an iterative model is established, and the objective function modified by the penalty factor is defined to realize a new detection method combining forward and inversion. This paper presents a theoretical foundation for the industrialization of microwave radiation diagnostic technology.

“…It continuously calibrates the antenna with hot and cold reference source to achieve high resolution and is suitable for measuring deep core temperature. Figures 1 (a Measuring the deep core temperature using a microwave has been attempted in early studies [18][19][20][21][22][23][24]. However, these studies did not focus on the importance of the antenna, despite it being a key component of the microwave radiometer system.…”

Human deep core temperature is a vital health condition parameter. Human body temperature change begins from the deep core followed by change in skin temperature. Measuring deep core temperature is the first action for rapid detection of health condition. Infrared thermometer can measure temperature; however, the only measures the skin temperature. The use of microwave radiometer for measuring deep core temperature has garnered attention. The antenna, an important component of the microwave radiometer, has rarely been focused upon in studies on measurement of deep core temperature. This study proposed compact dual-band on-body near field antenna with a reflector for measuring deep core temperature using a microwave radiometer. The proposed antenna size is 13 mm × 13 mm with a 20 mm × 20 mm reflector 3 mm above the radiator. The proposed antenna was simulated and designed on a full 3D body model and simplified flat phantom and measured on real human wrist. It achieved sufficient bandwidth and volume loss density can be used in microwave radiometers for measuring deep core temperature.INDEX TERMS Deep core temperature measurement, dual-band antenna, on-body antenna, sim4life
